I think the info. is just what I needed to hear .
After hearing what you said about how this can be in a tank thats been the same for years and then one day there it is and the next its gone, changes my thought of thinking about how not so much treating the Ich itself, but how well you can maintain your tank and to make your fish healthier so they can fight this on their own and I don't with meds.
The way my tank is now ,it wouldn't make much diff. what I treat with because I don't have the right set up.
Lights, not the right kind to do what I need, no timer on it and it doesn't get shut off at the same time everyday.
[Not knowing this could bring out a out break of it .]
Cheap filter! no PS .
- Cheap test kits, that don't work as I'm told they should.
Right temp. when doing water changes,and how just a few degs. would make that much of a diff, lfs told me just let the water set over night to room temp. would be good!!
Not using aRO/DI and just using water con. with water changes.
And I'm sure theirs more that makes this Ick come back, any stress right? The "cure" as I understand now, is how you care for your tank and fish. No getting rid of it 100% because you can't .
The Ich will always be. Am I close ? Tangster, thank you for taking the time to help me get a grip on this!! |
